A resident of the Forty-second senatorial
district, who is a frequent visitor to ST. Paul,
was converSlng at the Merchants last night
with party of politicians. The question as
| TO how Senator HiXon would vote came up,
| ana this gentleman said: Both the senator
and representative from the Forty-second
district will support Davis. Hixon, the sena-
| tor, who is unknown to the people Of the dis
| trict. is creature of T. C. Hodgsons, and
will presumably vote as he is told. However,
| HiXon mas some elements of originality in his
makeup. For instance, at Republican
meeting in Morris, prior to the election, as
the nominee of the Farmers alliance conven-
| tion, he said that ''he felt himself at home in
a Republican gathering, as he had voted the
straight Republican ticket since he was IL
years DID,
| J. II. Stevenson, OF Goodhue county who
| is candidate for an Office in the legislature,
| is thus commented upon by Red Wing man:
| ''Steenerson is an aspirant for any seat that
he can get to warm up this winter. John is q
good 1elloW, but he Is SpaSmOdic politician,
and would accept anything from either Iarty.
Last fall he aspired TO the nomination OF
county auditor on the Democratic ticket but,
| not receiving ii, he desired to run for state
| senator on the same ticket and failed in that.
He then made up his mind he wasn't Dem-
| ocrat, anyhow, and never had been, and went
to work for the Republican ticket. He ought
| to be entitled to some recognition from some
| source"
Capt W. H. Harries. of Caledonia, is taking
| an active interest in securing the passage OF
bill to establish soldiers home. The two
| members Of the legislature from Houston
| county, however (both Republicnns), are said
10 be lukewarm in the matter. Represents
| tive Bunge, it is stated, will probably oppose
| the measure i'll the legislature, as he has ex-
| pressed himself that 'enough had already
| been done for the soldiers" Tosten Johnson,
| senator elect, thinks those homes established
| by the government sufficient, or If inadequate
the government should provide what were
| necessary. He is expected to support the
| measure, however.
a Goodhue county man differs in opinion
from another one who was In St. Paul yester-
| day. This latter one says: "Goodhue county
| having elected A. r. McGilI governor OF Min
nesota,is now willing to sacrifice all of her citi-
Zens. If necessary, 10 fill every Office in the
state within the gift Of his eXcellency, and if
| applications are not already in for them all
| it is probably owing to the number Of Demo-
cratic citizens who would not accept an Office
and goodly number OF Republicans who
| sign their names with an "
| New candidates appearing the surface
yesterday, in addition to the list printed in the
| GLOBE, were Q. w. Burch, of Steele county,
assistant secretary of the senate; II. S. Nor
gaard. of the Sixteenth district, and NJ. J..
| Osborn, OF Glyndon, enrolling clerk of the
senate; D. S. Reishus, Yellow Medicine, and
James BordWell, lie Sueur, sergeant-at-arms
OF the house: K. II. Furretin, LIE Sueur any
thing in the gift of the legislature.
a. H. Belding, of Caledonia-The Repub-
| lican leaders and politicians want Mr.. Davis.
| The people believe he is too much pro-
tectionist. But the people are of little note
| in Republican Legislature. They are good
enough TO vote and foot the bills, however.
A well-known Republican said last night:
II am pleased TO know that that fine gentle
man, Gen. George l.. Becker, is to be retained
| on the railroad and warehouses commission.
That act will do much to popularize McGills
administration"
1t is the current belief that if Gov. McGill
| Is desirous of rcappcinting Gen. Baker as
railroad commissioner, without kicking up
much of stink, he can accomplish his pur-
pose by giving the commission 10 Eli Warner.
Congressman Lind was severely criticised
about the hotels yesterday for his re. srence
| to Judge Wilson as a pettifogger during the
last campaign. 1t was considered by everys
| body as very small and contemplate business.
! Representative Potter, of Houston county,
| is loud in his praises Of c. X. Davis, but ae
heart he is said to be for Mark Dunnell. If
|
| Potter would leave Davis in second.
Tho movement to induce Gov. McGnl to ap-
| point John Frank us one OF the railroad COM
mlssloners was conducted very quietly, but
| it is not believed that Mr.. Frank stands any
chance of getting the plum,
| If twenty RI publicans should bolt the eau
! Gus it would be either Nelson or Mcmillan.
| The Democrats would vote for either of them,
with the possible exception of Whiteman.
| Nelson and Hendrickson.
Senator Hayden, of Winona classifles him
self as gentleman in giving his isSoccupation.
| It's n reflection on Minnesota'S civilization
to admit that hos the only one in the legis-
| lature.
Senator G. Weston Wood, of Rice with two
| pairs of shoulder braces on to keep his back
| bone from collapsing): "I will vote-I trust
for good mar for United States SENATOR
| 1t is to be hoped that this Mankato racket
about Eli Warner is not a put up job. Eli is
such nice kind of fellow that it would be q
| pity to let his enemies steal a march on him.
fear is expressed that DIR. Day and w. B.
| Dean lack the magnetic inspiration necessary
! to inspire boom for Senator Mcmillan. This
| is not the fault of tho senator.
Banker Merriam can trip up his antagonist,
Banker Lee, if he can prove the truth Of the
| report that the latter, up to within q very
| recent period, was Democrat.
| Chief Clerk Howard is said to favor McMil-
Ian for senator. If this leaks out the Davis
| stick Il knife into Mr.. Howard.
Representative Nilsson evidently desires it
| to be understood that he has no strings tied
| to him, and even if he had it couldn't be pulled
| by Hon. Knute Nelson.
Buckman ought to be for Nelson for sena-
| tor. If the latter could be elected Buck
man would have a chance to step into his
| Shoes
1t is conceded on all sides that Stordock
would make good warden of the peniten-
tiary, but there are plenty of good words for
| Reed.
| Senator W. G. Ward, of Waseca---I have no
| photograph, and do not want it printed; don't
think your patrons would care to see it.
F. Potter. OF La Crescent, is said to be
booked for the deputy oil inspectorship In
Houston county.
The legislators have begun to straggle in,
but the bulk of them Is not expected before
Monday morning. q
1t seems funny to have Republican sena.e
torial election in Minnesota without Window
and Dunnell.
Representative Shoemaker, of Rock-Who
do favor for United States senator? Too
hard.
Capt. Snider looks on with moist eyes. He
is thinking of what might have been. 5
The ''original Mr.. Finseth still clings to
his first love, Senator Mcmillan.
